SPRINGFELS
Mango"SPRINGFELS" IS A HADEN SEEDLING SELECTED IN WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA IN 1925. THE FRUIT IS LARGE (TO 3LBS), COLORFUL, AND OF GOOD EATING QUALITY. THE TREE HAS A LOW SPREADING HABIT BUT CAN ATTAIN HEIGHTS OVER TWENTY FEET. IT IS NO LONGER A POPULAR VARIETY DUE TO UNEVEN RIPENING AND THE AVAILABILITY OF SUPERIOR CULTIVARS.
